This thread is pretty much a non-starter, isn't it ?

You would have to get stats for "violence" globally, and get agreement on what metrics to use.

You seem to use capital punishment as some kind of metric. If you're being intellectually honest, then we can use that - and for sure Saudi Arabia kills a lot of people. So does Pakistan. Who is in between them in ranking ? The USA of course. And China is at the top of the list.

That is how it is for 2008 anyway.

The problem I have is that you're going to start with a metric that assures you of an easy win for your argument, such as "number of people from each religion who commit violence because a cartoon was drawn about their holy prophet".

It's inescapable.

Islam = Peace.

Regardless of the mouthings of politicians, it is undeniable that a major difference between Christianity and Islam is that the former's prophet was a man of peace who could rarely be provoked to any kind of violence, while the latter's prophet was a conquering warrior prince who slaughtered large numbers of people without remorse. Jesus didn't try to convert people by violence. Muhammad certainly did. And a certain number of his descendants thus see little wrong with committing violence against heretics.

Now, no doubt someone will bring up the fact Christianity has had its violent phases as well. It certainly did. And if a religion begun by a prophet of peace can have its violent phases imagine how much more violent a religion begun by a mass murderer can be.

Islam stands for Submission. You are to submit your will to that of Allah, submit your life to His guidance and use. And if you don't want to, well, a goodly number of Muslims will force you to. It's always been that way.

I'm a big fan of anybody who says the right thing.

Bush wasn't so bad. You won't find many posts where I eviscerate him.

Really ? He murdered people... or are you referring to battles he fought ?

What are you talking about? I put in one line about Saudi Arabia and then you make a strawman? Nice try and I'm sorry that you don't understand the thrust of my post.

How about gay thrusts?

Let me spell it out for those who don't understand what I am wondering.

I A M U N E D U C A T E D

Muslims today are more violent then any other religion. Muslims today are beheading people during kidnappings and by the various strict Islamic States.

I hear they are beheading other muslims.

Most people don't understand how Islam works.

Count yourself among them.

Many people also don't know that the Koran wasn't arranged in any real order when put together, its books were simply binded from shortest to the longest books. The ninth book is the only book of the Koran that doesn't begin wit ha blessing of Peace from Mohammad. It contains passages stating that true Muslims need to seek out and literally 'kill' Christians and Jews when they pass them.

The Bible is pretty violent as well.

I'll stop there for now until you guys catch up.

Just stop alltogether, there is no way you can catch up to the real world.

Muslims today are more violent then any other religion.

You can't prove that. I have tried to get others to prove it here and all I get back is posts of atrocities that have taken place here or there: that is anecdotal.

If you could prove it, you still wouldn't be able to prove that the religion does this, versus other factors such as the part of the world where they're from, the endemic war, poverty and so no.

Sorry, but far better than you on this board have tried and failed, utterly.

Quite right, we've seen it before, we will see it again. Most of the othe posters who've tried, either were banned, or went on to other forums.

So far just silly attacks on me. Try disputing the bulk of my post. You all cannot because it's fact and you know it. So resume your personal attacks it only strengthens me.

I knew it would be a waste of time to try to have a real discussion here at MLW. Just forget it go back to being sheep and believing that Muslims are just like 'little house on the prairie'. Baa

Man even the slightest deviation from the politically correct programming and I'm met with this.

It's like I have to go line by line or else people will purposely ignore everything else...lol.

I won't bother anymore.

Since you have not posted any kind of facts, there really is nothing to dispute.

Automobile accidents/wrecks are far more violent than the Muslims, and kill far more amount of people per year than ... 9/11.

Should we ban cars?
